The SFA SPL are trying to do everything possible to kick us while we are down. Why don't we tell them to GTF and we are not given in to anymore sanctions so we don't want a licence this year. We hold all the bargaining tools so Charlie boy should tell we don't need you and watch from the outside Scottish Football dying a slow death. WATP

OP: Do you know what positives the license we are currently chasing has?

Do you know the consequences for us of possibly taking a year out?

And finally do you realise we are applying for our old license right now, and if we take a year out we need to add on another 2 years to that to able to apply for a new one as you need 3 years accounts to apply for a new S*A Membership?

I couldn't go with a year out. What investors in their right mind would stick around under those conditions? Owning a club that can't play is a non-starter - literally. It would be bulldozers at Ibrox next if that happened.

This is a make or break week for the Bears so Charlie and Ally should stand their ground and call the SFA'S bluff that they are no accepting anymore punishments. Fucking sick of it week after week of another punishment getting added to list all we done was fiddle some taxes and no wee BHOYS. Enough is Enough and Rangers should tell the SFA to go and fuck there self. WATP BJK.

I'm sure we could find a wee tourney somewhere in the world every month to keep us going plus glamour friendlies..especially during Europes winter break and international weekends.
Wouldn't be ideal but if we bend over and let them take titles and our media rights just so we can eat at their table then i'll be ashamed.

It actually worries me how many people see this as a viable option. Here's just a few things that would happen...

The players would leave
The staff would be told they are no longer required
We would have a stadium and a training ground without a penny coming in for bills and maintenance
The investors would sell off the two, and walk away from the club

Sorry, I'm all for us standing our ground against draconian sanctions, but nothing good could come of it. And I also don't understand why people think it's a "year out". If Rangers don't get their license, their place gets taken by a Junior or Highland Leagum team. Where does that leave us then? Seeking a new league to play in without any players or anywhere to play.

Don't be ridiculous, we'd be dead in a year, we'd have no players and no income.

You know what they say, keep your friens close and your enemies closer, the best chance we have to influence issues is from within.
